WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
By slicing the chicken thin and seasoning it simply, you get evenly cooked, juicy chicken every time—no dry spots, no guesswork.
Carefully slice each chicken breast lengthwise, creating evenly thin pieces. Place the sliced chicken into a large bowl.
STEP 2: SEASON THE CHICKEN
In a small bowl, combine the seasonings. Using tongs, coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning, then add the olive oil and toss until well combined.
STEP 3: ARRANGE ON THE PAN
Lay the chicken pieces on a large baking tray in a single layer, making sure none overlap. This ensures even cooking and light browning.
STEP 4: BAKE
Bake for 8–12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
STEP 6: SERVE
Remove from the oven and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a crack of black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
PRO TIPS
- Avoid overcrowding the pan for ideal baking
- Use an instant-read thermometer to prevent overcooking
